Hitachi heat pumps from Freedom

Customers learn of the new Hitachi heat pumps at a presentation in Maidenhead

UK: Hampshire-based Freedom Heat Pumps has taken on the distribution of Hitachi heap pumps.

Freedom will provide full pre-sales and post-sales support for Hitachi’s new range of MCS approved air to water heat pumps, alongside its existing Samsung, Vaillant and Ecoforest product ranges.

The Hitachi range includes the new Yutaki-SCombi, an all-in-one, pre-plumbed and pre-wired heat pump and hot water system, and the very high temperature Yutaki-S80 unit which can generate hot water up to 80°C making it ideal for replacing inefficient heating systems.

As part of the pre-launch activities, Freedom presented the new Hitachi heat pump range to key customers at an event hosted by Hitachi at its training centre in Maidenhead. The day was well attended and all the feedback has been extremely positive.
